Ginger Lynn achieved iconic status in two short years as an adult film star. By 1986, she was a porn legend, doing an astonishing 69 adult films, many of which still top video charts today.

Following her years in the adult film industry, Ginger appeared in many mainstream films - most notably, the "Vice Academy" and "Wing Commander" movies. She also had starring roles in Bound and Gagged: A Love Story (1993) and Young Guns II (1990), as well as a stint on "NYPD Blue" (1993). She is featured in Metallica's "Turn the Page" music video, Rob Zombie's horror epic The Devil's Rejects (2005) and Vincent Rocca's outrageous comedy Kisses and Caroms (2006).
